its the Arctic all over again!!! aaaahhh! Just kidding, I already knew that cuz i talked to Dragon lasers, they told me it would be at least 20 days from order to receiving.

I can test it when the meter gets here, i expected it a few days ago. I was just guessing by the amount of time it took my O-like to cross the boarder and get to my house and the meter coming from Canada but it still isn't here, and for some reason USPS sucks about updating for foreign packages...

Yea that's actually a good idea! i would like to know what the IR output is. Here are my goggles, doesn't look like a lot of IR protection. I know they aren't actually intended for the green since 532nm is just at the edge of its protection, I really got them for my Arctic and S1 Sonar that are...

As far as i know the O-like does not have an IR filter, they generally state when they do and i think O-like only has them on their more powerful 300mW diodes. The O-like is great for burning though since i can focus the beam to a VERY small dot up close.

btw I haven't gotten a shipping confirmation yet but WL claims they started shipping the Sonars last friday and expect to have most of the orders shipped this week, so they say. Either way, when it takes 14 days for O-like to ship vs 2 days from WL, I also bet you'll get the Sonar first if your...

Yea i have seen a lot of complaints with the Arctic but they do seem to be getting better, I'm hoping that then i get my G2 they would have worked out a lot of the kinks and rushed product defects the G1 had, only time will tell. As far as the Sonar goes, I'm going to keep it. At first I...

I agree, so far I really like the host of the O-like! In a sense it almost feels like someone made it out of parts from the hardware store and not a commercially polished product like the E2. The O-like feels very nice, the lines throughout the body provide nice grip, all the threads are very...

@denodan, Was there something wrong with your Arctic? I doubt they'd let you return it without something being broken or not right with the unit. I'm really surprised that it can light farther away since it has higher divergence, that was actually the deciding factor for me on why i kept my...

Yea it is!! Definitely better than the O-like! Which just arrived. First impressions: I understand why they call it cute since that was the first thing i said when i saw it! It is a lot smaller than I expected. The E2 is 1.5x the length of the O-like laser and the width at the largest part of...

Unfortunately i still haven't found an hands on information of the 400mw version, I know a few have been shipped to users but not sure they have received them yet. There is a review of the 1W here. The power is intense but the divergence is high, apparently not very good for pointing at the...

WOW! I ordered my WL 130mW Evolution Pro on Sunday (8/15) and got it today on Tuesday (8/17), that is amazing!! My O-like 150mw was ordered on 8/4 and i'm still waiting for it. The total time of the WL from order to receiving is less than the time it took O-like just to ship theirs...

@ntwknick, where do you live? when i'm there i'm actually in North Andover, about 20 minutes northeast of Boston. I go to Mike's Pastry for tiramisu and cappuccino, both are amazing! Not much of a canoli guy, obviously i'm not truly from the east cost! lol Yea I also ordered mine on July 11th...

Thanks Spartan, that's exactly what i wanted to know, i was afraid it would be like that. I have an Arctic order and i'm going to keep it and wait for it, but was debating spartan too, but since it was smaller thought about maybe taking it places to shine at far away objects, but that won't...

@Apex007, USPS sucks about updating when its a foreign package, last week i had a shipment come in and USPS didn't update it until after it had been delivered to my house.

@Spartan X, since you just got yours today, what do you think of it so far? how is the beam diameter and divergence? Edit: given the post above your last one i thought you ordered a 400mW version, but then i saw your tag and realized its a 1W. I'm more curious about the 400mW since no one has...

I'm also looking forward to a 400mW review! I'm waiting for my Arctic and was thinking about buying a Spartan too, but figure if i do buy a Spartan might as well buy the one with corrected optics that is at least a little different.

Yea i saw that 100mw review, i was curious if that was what you were referring to. I already purchased the 150mw cute laser back when that was a positive review, he edited it after it broke on him. that is why i'm debating on buy the Evolution also since it seems like a great laser, it's already...

where did you hear about the O-like's burning out quickly? Besides what people have commented on this thread i have found very little on that exact laser. I am almost thinking about buying them both! The Evo really does seem like a great laser.

It sounds like your Arctic has a much tighter beam than the Spartan here. I read more recent reviews of the Arctic and it does appear to be getting much better and have a very tight divergence on most of them, not all of them though. It seems like the quality is slowly improving, not too...

wow that's weird how very different they are, I wonder how they average out? it would be amazing to see the beam expander on this baby! I'm really curious to see what the shape would end up looking like.
